On 1/2 July 2019 the CSFD core group met in Brussels. During its time there, CG members also met with the partner agencies involved in running the project which supports the CSFD’s work, and with an EC staff member who is engaged with the CSFD’s work. The focus was on reflecting on the work and activities undertaken so far and planning for the future, including the CSFD 2019 Plenary Session which is scheduled for later this year.
